Abstract
The hospital pharmacist must clearly be more and more positioned in the future as an academic professional and a real partner of physicians and nurses. To reach this objective he has to answer to the rules of the academic world by being active in education and research. Beyond the requirements of our universities, each hospital pharmacist can find good reasons to develop a small or a large research structure:
– to solve daily problems and to increase the knowledge by a structured scientific approach ;
– to develop new activities and to make the proof of concepts by a rigorous evaluation of their impact;
– to obtain financing to support new projects;
– to develop networks of collaboration with other institutions and other professionals;
– to share knowledge with colleagues by communicating results;
– to educate young colleagues in the management of projects, from protocol writing to the publication.
Pharmacy practice research is aimed at improving services in all specific domains of hospital pharmacy (logistics, production, analytics, clinical activities, etc.) and, finally to optimise patient safety and health outcomes.
In this seminar, presenting examples of projects from practice, as well as the perspective of faculties of pharmacy will highlight the importance of research activities in hospital pharmacy.
Teaching Goals:
- to present a strategic vision of research activities in hospital pharmacy,
- to present examples of research projects based on the practice,
- to discuss the expectations of the faculty on research activities in pharmacy practice.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the seminar the participants should:
- appraise the importance of research activities for the future development of hospital pharmacy,
- be inspired to find possible projects from their daily practice,
- apply the academic vision on research in pharmacy practice.
